Some fans are wondering if something Paul Heyman posted could be connected to Bray Wyatt,
so we’ll see what’s going on there.
Let’s start things with a fan theory and idea that was being passed around from this
social media post from Paul Heyman
Following Friday Night Smackdown, Paul Heyman took to his Twitter to post a picture inside
a jet with the caption that red, quote:
“Bloodline private jet service.
We’ll leave the (red) light on for you.”
End quote
Paul Heyman was seen inside the jet with a red light effect on in the jet
So what did the fan instantly gravitate to?
Well the fans right there in the comment section of Paul Heyman’s tweets started posting
pictures and gifs of Bray Wyatt and The Fiend
Now first of all, this is an extreme reach from the fans and most likely has no correlation
to Bray Wyatt, but we’ll entertain the theory and idea because it has been a long time since
we discussed anything Bray Wyatt related
So in the very early days of The Fiend, Bray Wyatt was using that steady red light in all
of his matches
It wasn’t popular with Bray, the fans, or bray’s opponents because it was just very
hard to see what was going on for everyone that was involved
So the red light during the match would eventually get scrapped, but the color red was still
very alive in the overall presentation of The Fiend and was always related to him
But on the flip side, red is also the main color for Roman Reigns and The Bloodline
All of their main gear, merchandise, and other items all feature that similar black and red
color scheme
So the truth here is that Paul Heyman was just using the red light and showing it as
a sign of The Bloodline
But to run with the fan idea for a moment, it would still be interesting to see what
a Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns matchup would look like in 2023
Like we’ve gone over plenty of times in the past, WWE has skipped over the opportunity
to have Roman Reigns versus Bray Wyatt several times over the last few years
The first time was obviously Wrestlemania 36
Bray Wyatt was the Universal Champion to kick that year off and Roman Reigns was set to
be the number one contender for the title heading into Wrestlemania season
But as everyone knows, WWE and Vince McMahon reportedly saw Goldberg versus Roman Reigns
as the bigger ‘money’ matchup, so that’s what made us see Goldberg dethrone The Fiend
for the universal title to set up that match with Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 36
But of course even that match didn’t end up happening at Wrestlemania 36
And then a few months later, Roman Reigns returns at Summerslam to take out both The
Fiend and Braun Strowman
And Roman did have a very memorable few lines during that return where he spoke directly
to The Fiend, calling him a freak in a mask and how he didn’t deserve to carry the universal
title
And then 7 days later, Roman Reigns dethrones The Fiend Bray Wyatt by pinning Braun Strowman
in a triple threat match
And allegedly, this was when WWE was about to pull the trigger on Roman Reigns versus
Bray Wyatt
Alexa Bliss was staring down Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt had just introduced a Paul Heyman
Firefly Funhouse puppets, the feud was in its early stages… but then it was scrapped
and Bray and Alexa would end up getting shipped over to Raw a few weeks after that
And that was the last time that Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt ever truly interacted on WWE
television…
nearly three years ago
It was a story and feud that the fans were really hyped to see back then, but now in
current day, there’s really been a fan mood change in wanting to see Bray Wyatt versus
Roman Reigns
Even though the story is in place, and they do have unfinished business with each other,
some fans just appear to be unsure on if the story would really be good in current day
Bray Wyatt is one of our all time favorites to discuss, it’s always amazing to see just
how much content and theories you can pull from everything he does, but there’s just
been a few inconsistencies throughout his 2022-2023 return direction and story so far
The last few Firefly Funhouse episodes haven’t really been connecting and the story pieces
have been all over the place over the last few months
Then you of course had the big report that Brock Lesnar even respectively declined working
with Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania 39 because he allegedly wasn’t into everything that
was going on there, so he went with the Omos match option instead
And then we did get to see the early stages of Bobby Lashley and Bray Wyatt’s program
for about two weeks and that was already off to a shaky start and facing a lot of fan criticism
before Bray Wyatt just mysteriously disappeared altogether
So some fans believe that Roman Reigns may have the same reaction as Brock Lesnar, maybe
he’s not really looking forward to a program with Bray Wyatt right now due to the uncertainty
of how the story would flow and progress
But if Roman Reigns is going to continue to be champion for a very long time, he’s gonna
need some fresh opponents down the road here
It’s hard to find fresh matchups three years into a title reign, but working a match and
story with Bray Wyatt would actually be a fresh matchup for him
Obviously, Bray Wyatt won’t dethrone Roman Reigns, but it’ll be nice to finally get
rid of those loose ends from their story from back in 2020
But as far as things go with just Bray Wyatt’s return to WWE, everything is still radio silent
Bray Wyatt last appeared on WWE television on February 24th during an episode of the
Firefly Funhouse
Things at the time appeared to be going great, Alexa’s return was hinted at during that
episode and Bray Wyatt kept teasing that he had a secret that he wanted to share with
everyone
It left everyone on the edge of their seats waiting for more, but then he mysteriously
vanished off the face of the WWE world
At first, it was being rumored that it was creative issues and that there was frustration
there, but then Fightful stepped in and cleared up those false rumors, saying that Bray was
actually dealing with an illness
And ever since that report came out, there’s been no other updates in any way at all on
Bray Wyatt’s status
Some fans thought that maybe Bray Wyatt versus Bobby Lashley would still take place at Wrestlemania
39 as a surprise match, but that wasn’t the case at all
Bobby Lashley didn’t even have a Wrestlemania role on the show himself
And them fans thought that maybe a Raw after Wrestlemania or Smackdown after Wrestlemania
was a good return spot for Bray Wyatt, but that also came and went with no signs of any
appearances from him
Bray Wyatt’s disappearance has not been acknowledged at all by WWE even in the storyline
world
No one mentions a thing about him, no one talks about how he disappeared…
the only slight acknowledgment that we’ve really gotten of Bray Wyatt in recent weeks
was how his logo can still be seen on some backstage equipment during backstage segments
on Smackdown
That appears to be WWE’s way of acknowledging Bray’s absence and assuring everyone that
he’s still with the company, but other than those logo stickers, there’s been no updates
at all since February
There’s no time table or anything like that being reported for Bray Wyatt’s return
So when he returns, chances are that’ll probably be a surprise return of some sorts
Obviously since the Bobby Lashley feud was discontinued, he’ll have to set his sights
on a whole target upon his return
And who’s also sitting on the sidelines and is sort of connected to all this is Alexa
Bliss
Alexa has been missing for even longer than Bray wyatt, her last appearance was back at
Royal Rumble
And they hinted that Alexa and Bray could be reuniting, but as long as Bray’s out,
chances are that Alexa will continue to be out too
So with how long Bray Wyatt has been away, chances are that he could get another big
return whenever he does get clearance to make his way back to the ring
Who would you like to see Bray Wyatt set his eyes on upon his eventual return to WWE?
